Bring It On In -Post Raid Healing-

When Io smiles at her, Meadow feels her heart swell with happiness. Bowing her head in thanks to Iolaire’s words, the older wolf moves to follow as Io makes her way toward their first patient. It is a younger male that Meadow has seen around but she does not know his name. He seems very sad and her heart aches for him. Staying silent for the moment, Meadow watches as Io gives him a head bump and tells him it is okay.

When Iolaire motions for her to come forward, Meadow does as bidden and watches closely to the way Io manipulates the limbs to check for breaks. Range of motion is full and the palpation does not seem to bother the wolf too much. Gentle paws poke and prod where needed and eyes asses the rest. There is much to be said for touch but sometimes eyes can pick up the first signs of things wrong. When Iolaire is satisfied, she gives him a soft pat and announces her findings.

Meadow looks at the forlorn wolf and knows she has to comfort him. Speaking with a soft voice, she says, “You did great today. We are very proud of you.” While she had not seen the fight, Meadow knew that this wolf had given his best during the raid. They all will. No matter if they win or lose their fights, Meadow will be proud of each and every wolf that comes home. With a warm smile, she aims to pat his paw and offer comfort where she can. She asks, “Can I get you anything? Would you like some water? Are you comfortable?”

She looks to Iolaire for confirmation that she is doing the right thing before turning her attention back to blue eyed wolf.
